Live better with less

This book is so helpful. It's practical, easy to follow, and full of helpful advice. I love how the author focuses on the benefits of minimalism, not just the decluttering. It's helped me to see that having less stuff can actually make our lives more enjoyable.
The book also provides great tips for minimalist parenting. I've been able to teach my kids the importance of being grateful for what we have and not always wanting more.

A lovely light read on Minimalism

One of the things I like about this book is that its message is quick and simple, but profound. I'm a mom of a toddler and if I'm going to read a book on minimalism, I want it to be straightforward and not too long - which is exactly what this book accomplishes. The book mostly emphasizes the benefits of minimalism, not so much the "how to" like Marie Kondo, although chapters 4 and 5 have very practical advice on how to start decluttering when you have children. Highly recommend!

Ready to move

We are moving to Hawaii soon and needed to learn to minimize our stuff in preparation. This audiobook did an amazing job preparing us for this move, as we had so much stuff. we learned what we had to keep but, more improbably, what we could let go of. The book was super easy to follow and the guidance is top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone needing to slim down on possessions.
